snapshot

Hello, lovelies! I do believe I am very close to achieving one hundred followers. Thank you to all who have already followed me, we are so close!

I'll admit, I spent way too long lying in bed with my laptop resting on my stomach yesterday. But in an odd way, it motivated me to get up and do something. I checked out the Teen Vogue website, (best magazine ever, I have a long-running subscription) and realised that I was now old enough to enter their snapshot competition! It's a competition where you send in a photo of you, describe what you're wearing and talk about your style. I tried entering it last year, and of course was turned down because of my age. Here I'm wearing my Miss Shop sweater and Pink Rogue Peter Pan collar top, (both of which you have seen here), my Rodarte for Target skirt, Coach bag and canvas military boots. Wish me luck!
ps. I changed a few aspects of my blog's look. You like?

I have been obsessing over peter pan collars for a pretty long time now. I guess it's just the sheer whimsicality and innocence that is depicted in my mind when I think of them. When I bought the top, my mother said she had one "just like it, though it had sleeves of course". Bloggers, I think I have met the shop that is made for me. Everything in it I would buy. I had pictured, before I even entered the shop, myself in some of the clothes. It was destiny that brought me and Princess Polly together. Of course, I couldn't afford everything in the store so I settled on the gorgeous Wind Chime top (the shirt underneath in these pictures) and the Hotel shorts. I'm sure you will see them in an upcoming post, if I survive that long. My lovely mother jetted off to America and left me behind, and I miss her dearly. But kudos to her for having this skirt in her wardrobe.

maxi skirt

So here is my take on the winter long skirt- and mine is reversible and made by my Mother! I wore the other side (as a dress) in this photo shoot. It's amazing how many different ways you can wear something. So my take on the skirt is a little on the forest nymph side- considering the fact that I do not own any high heels, chunky knits (that look good with the skirt), satchels or maxi cardigans. But if you're planning to work the trend, it can go either way or you can give it a ladylike touch like my fellow blogger Maria. Thanks to lookbook for the trend filled first photo- I am planning to work one of their other trends sometime soon. So work that nymph-like ensemble.

Easter has successfully passed and I now have roughly two kilograms of chocolate! Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little, but it seems like that. This photo shoot was inspired by dolls, doll houses etc. And because I am currently obsessed I made a polyvore of doll-inspired buys. Bows, lots of bows! The skirt is Rodarte for Target and has the most amazing detail (and a matching cardigan). The second shot is strange but it is actually me trying to cram myself into a tiny cubby house while wearing a Miller's pullover (don't ask). My Easter outfit ended up breaking the tradition! I wore this voluminous red skirt and I got a new pocket watch (with pearls!). What did you wear? 

Autumn Loves

Ah, my must-haves for Autumn! I guess the point of having must-haves is that you must have them, but as I finished I discovered that I cannot afford almost anything that I put in this collage. It's the thought that counts. For those who have money, you will be most coveted if you wear my must-haves. Is this dress not absolutely adorable? And with that Chanel bag, my oh my...


What are your must haves for Autumn?

Newest fragrance obsession

The Emma Watson for Teen Vogue shoot that inspired me

A skirt for a musical was based on the skirt on the far left, sketched by me

I seem to have had a lot to do with Dolce and Gabbana lately. First, I found a perfume that I adore and can actually afford from their anthology series just recently. Second, I designed a skirt for Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz based on one from this D&G collection for a musical, and it looks fantastic! How exciting is that? Oh, and I just recently (a hour ago) grew out of a very expensive skirt bought for me for a very expensive wedding that reminds me very much of the voluminous ones modelled by Chanel Iman in a collection that I cannot name for D&G. Whew, long sentence. Anyway, I took the skirt and forced it over my head so I could do one last model of it... and got stuck trying to get out of it. But that's besides the point. The point is, how could you not be happy wearing an impossibly voluminous skirt with layers of ruffles?
